Cowboys-Giants Rematch A Tale of Different Teams - Shawn S. Lealos, CBS Dallas / Fort Worth
The Dallas Cowboys beat the New York Giants to open the season, but now the Giants hope to get revenge in the rematch between the two NFC East teams. Here is a look at the Giants heading into their week seven game with the Dallas Cowboys.
The one problem with the Giants is their running game. Rashad Jennings is still the lead back but has only run for 243 yard and one touchdown on the season. His backup Andre Williams has added 127 yards and one touchdown, but the two only combine for 61 rushing yards a game. That puts way too much pressure on Manning to win games on his own.

The Dallas Cowboys have a plan in place for how receiver Dez Bryant will protect his surgically repaired right foot when he does return to the field. It starts with a pairing with Nike.
